Copying Links

Hi all,

 

Is it possible to copy links from one task to another?

 

i.e. I have a task that has a lot of finish to start links coming from it, I've created another task  and want to give it the same successors. Is this possible, without manually creating each link?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Chris

Hi Chris,

I don't think so - all I did was display the successor column, set the table definition to have the attribute style of 'unique task ID' and then did a simple highlight text>copy and pasted these values in the successor cell of the new task that I wanted to have the same links.

Just checked our support call system and I see you have also had a conversation with our analysts on this one, so hopefully they have reinforced the advice.

Cheers,

Ben

Thanks for response Ben.

 

I'd already tried this (as I knew that's how it worked in MS Project), but couldn't get it to work for me. Were there any other settings that you changed too?

Hi Chris,

There may be a better way, but what comes to mind first is to display the relevant successor/predecessor column and simply copy/paste the data in the cells between the two tasks.  I just tried this and it worked - needed to set it to show Unique Task ID in Table Definition rather than Task Name to make it clearer.
